This is my first Sophie Lark book, and it won’t be my last. 

It’s a Mafia Romance with all the tropes, arranged marriage, enemies to lovers, touch her a 💀 vibes. 

It’s not a literary masterpiece but it was fun to read. The characters should not be taken seriously, the story even shouldn’t but it’s a bit of fun escapism where you can giggle and maybe gasp a time or two. It’s quick and easy to read and the characters you can either love or hate and I think that depends on if you like the book or not. 

I liked it purely for the reason it was fun, was there plot holes, yes, do I care not really. It has what I like in this type of book, funny characters, some spice a smidgeon of a plot and it’s a series following the family. 

I will be continuing this series, and I think it will be definitely one I go back to when I’m in a slump as it’s quick and easy to read!

The writing took some time to get used to, but eventually I didn’t mind all the internal monologuing. It was tough to get through the first part of the book because of the immaturity of the two main characters but once they were together and married, their character development was significant. I surprisingly liked this book. I tend to stay away from mafia type romances because some times they can be a little too dark.
